A Son vs. His Son

Hebrews 1:1–2 LEB

1 Although God spoke long ago in many parts and in many ways to the fathers by the prophets, 2 in these last days he has spoken to us by a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the world,

Hebrews 1:1–4 LEB

1 Although God spoke long ago in many parts and in many ways to the fathers by the prophets, 2 in these last days he has spoken to us by a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the world, 3 who is the radiance of his glory and the representation of his essence, sustaining all things by the word of power. When he had made purification for sins through him, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4 having become by so much better than the angels, by as much as he has inherited a more excellent name than theirs.

The theme of believers ruling with Christ over the nations at His return is further developed in the book of Revelation (see Rev 2:26; 3:21; 21:7). Paul asserts that believers will participate in this event in some way. For this reason, he considers it inappropriate for them to take their disagreements before those whom they will judge.

Both male and female are created in the divine image, making them equal to one another

Genesis 1:26–27 ESV

26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

Men are not superior to women because they were created first.
